But as the fierce vexation of a dream.
But first I will release the Fairy Queen.
(Oberon touches the queen's eyes with an
herb which lifts the charm)
Be as thou wast wont to be,
See as thou wast wont to see:
Dian's bud o'er Cupid's flower
Hath such force and blessed power.
Now, my Titania; wake you, my sweet Queen!
Titania.
